Structural and Optical Properties of Electro Sprayed Tin Oxide Thin Films

Semiconducting transparent SnO2 thin films were prepared by microcontroller processed electro spraying technique. The structural and optical properties of the films were studied using X-ray diffractometer, UV-Vis spectrophotometer and Photoluminescence spectroscopy respectively. The polycrystalline nature of the films with tetragonal structure was observed from XRD pattern with the mean grain size of 17 nm. The Optical band gap of the films was calculated from the absorption curve and the interference pattern was observed on transmittance spectra. The calculated band gap of 3.5 eV is larger than the bulk band gap of Tin oxide. The blue emission band at 388 nm was observed from room temperature photoluminescence analysis and the effect of excitation wavelength of the films were studied and discussed.

Textures of the Everyday: Ordinary Affects in Malayalam Memoirs

Memoirs are short autobiographical compositions that are focalized around particular memories and/or experiences instead of aligning with normativities of chronology or historical progress. Historically, the privileging of everyday experiences over life histories configured memoirs as accessible forms of autobiographical composition for disprivileged groups such as women and the working-class (Nussbaum 149). A focus on affects, or states of being, facilitates an intensification of the sensory elements of our terrain, enabling the prioritization of its ‘texture’ (Sedgwick 17). The cultural theorist, Kathleen Stewart employs the term ‘ordinary affects’ to qualify this intertwining of the everyday and the affective and to facilitate an enquiry into the generative potential of everyday life (7). The habitual and the ordinary are privileged in the memoir, titled Aaru Nee (2018) composed by the celebrated Malayali writer and activist, Sarah Joseph. The paper analyses the linkages between the affective registers and Sarah Joseph’s autobiographical subjectivity in Aaru Nee

Preliminary screening of cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum Maton) elite clones for thrips (Sciothrips cardamomi Ramk.) damage in the field

Seventy three elite cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) clones were screened for tolerance to thrips (Sciothrips cardamomi) damage under natural infestation. Three colones, viz., D-514, D-769 and CI-754 were promising with least damage to capsules. &nbsp

A novel framework for efficient identification of brain cancer region from brain MRI

Diagnosis of brain cancer using existing imaging techniques, e.g., Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is shrouded with various degrees of challenges. At present, there are very few significant research models focusing on introducing some novel and unique solutions towards such problems of detection. Moreover, existing techniques are found to have lesser accuracy as compared to other detection schemes. Therefore, the proposed paper presents a framework that introduces a series of simple and computationally cost-effective techniques that have assisted in leveraging the accuracy level to a very higher degree. The proposed framework takes the input image and subjects it to non-conventional segmentation mechanism followed by optimizing the performance using directed acyclic graph, Bayesian Network, and neural network. The study outcome of the proposed system shows the significantly higher degree of accuracy in detection performance as compared to frequently existing approaches
